News from E3

The official website for the World of Warcraft, WorlfofWarcraft.com, has an update with the following news I figured would be of interest. We may be expanding to offer World of Warcraft news more often, we'll see how it goes. Here's a snippet from the official website:

"It's official - the Draenei will be joining forces with the Alliance in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade! We've prepared a massive update of our Burning Crusade mini-site, including a detailed history of the Draenei and a brand-new expansion gameplay trailer. You should definitely check it out if you want to learn more about the history of the new race and their connection to the insidious Eredar, the evil masterminds leading the Burning Crusade.

We have also released new information about the other expansion race, the power-hungry Blood Elves. The history of the Blood Elves details how the exiled highborne arrived in Lordaeron, how the first alliance between High Elves and Humans was forged, and how the dark destiny of the Blood Elves finally became manifest in the aftermath of the Third War.

Our E3 update also includes news about Naxxramas, the new raid dungeon that will be opened with the next content patch for World of Warcraft. Check out our Naxxramas E3 gameplay trailer to get a first glimpse of the cursed necropolis! And last but not least, there are new expansion screenshots on the Burning Crusade website and new wallpapers available for download in our media section. "

Male Draenei Dance

In the World of Warcraft expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, the new Alliance characters you will be able to play are called the Draenei. Here's is a short shakycam video showing some of their dancing abilitys taken from the popular Indian sensation Daler Mendhi, specifically "Tunak Tunak Tun" (his video became one of the more popular ones to watch on the internet because it's just that awesome).

Without further ado, here are the Draenei's dance and a bit more from the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Blade.

The Burning Crusade footage + FLYING MOUNTS!

With E3 well under way and announcements flying in at a record pace, we're running across plenty of videos showing the new class for the Alliance side coming with the Burning Crusade expansion. We also have other surprises to show like in this video you can see the flying mounts toward the end which apparantly work only in the new World of Warcraft expansion pack zones, but not the original World of Warcraft areas.

WoW Rise of the Living Dead

A nicely done movie with a great little story to go along with it. The Alliance are just trying to enjoy their lives inside the World of Warcraft, but the pesky dead won't allow that. Something must be done!

Big Blue Dress

A very well put together little video of a mage kicking butt yet wondering why he is forced to wear such girly looking dresses while kicking said butts. They did a good job of choreographing the video with the music in this World of Warcraft movie, I suggest giving it a look-see!

Ragefire Chasm Fun

Ragefire Chasm is the first instance the Horde normally go through if they don't choose to skip it and go straight to the Wailing Caverns. Found inside the city of Orgrimmar, the Ragefire Chasm offers a decent challenge to beginning players and shows them the basic structure of an instance complete with a portal you enter to get into it, a few groups of mobs, a few bosses, and a handful of quests of different types. This high level mage decides to have a bit of fun inside Ragefire by grouping the major mob groups together for mass slaughter. This actually gives me an idea for another movie which I may reveal on another day - for now, enjoy this fine World of Warcraft clip!
